Kat takes issue with the courts on gun control.

That is, the legal position of the US is that DC Circuit was wrong, a complete ban on handguns is NOT per se unconstitutional, it all depends on how good a reason DC can prove for it.

From the original article here

the DoJ REJECTS the DC Circuit position that an absolute, flat, ban on handguns violates the Second Amendment, and contends that it might just be justified, it all depends on the evidence.

There was a saying during my years in DC that the GOP operated on two principles: screw your friends and appease your enemies. Yup.

It isn’t justified - the Second Amendment is a right - and an important one - that’s why it’s all the way up there at #2.

Kat’s conclusion to her short post on gun rights, though, had my eyes bugging out, but laughing:

Piss off, you two-faced, lying bastards! Don’t forget: the Second Amendment is a sword that the people will use if the government takes away too many of our God-given rights. Which is, I suppose, why you want to take it away…

[throws hands up in disgust, spits on the Republican party, and stalks away]

She’s right…I don’t know how many times I’ve felt like this over numerous issues - not just this one; the main one is hand holding terrorists and firing experts on sharia in favor of ’softening’ our anti-terror rhetoric.
